"I think from Trestman's perspective, now that I've had time to think about it, this isn't about getting to January for the Bears," Florio said. "This is about getting to February. So if you do qualify for the postseason and Jay Cutler has played three regular season games to end his run before the postseason, you're going to be better suited to win in the playoffs if you get there.

"I think this is about Jay Cutler with three games to get back to 100 percent and if he stays healthy he's more effective than Josh McCown."

The Bears need a victory to stay on pace with the Detroit Lions - who hold the NFC North tiebreaker - and can't afford a loss on Sunday.
